I am in agreement that this is Primula sessilis. Strange that 'Flowers of Himalaya' say it is distinguished by its pale lilac-pink flowers with an orange eye, with usually 4 entire narrow petals which are abruptly narrowed to a fine point - yet Primulas have 5 petals!  As do the admittedly few images I have seen of this species. Apparently recorded from Kashmir to West Nepal in forests & shady banks @ 2100-3600m; I suspect this is as error from 'Flora of British India' times as neither Stewart nor Nasir (who revised Primulaceae for Flora of Pakistan' mention it. It is known as being common in the Kulu Valley  I have seen a colony on a low damp cliff near the bottom of the Rohtang Pass but never seen it in flower.  It flowers in April or May.  Never been in the Kulu Valley at that time of the year - would be nice to see some photos posted from here in the years to come.
